paper in reference to my intentions (;
| cannot afford to he the subject of
newspaper gossip; neither will l
have you. They call me Nosblg.
That miserable, scurrilous sheet,
the Gazette" is always at me. 1t
is because l am in politics. was
just going TO break the news to my
daughter. We cannot afford to be
the subject of newspaper talk; we
must be very careful. This thing
must be fixed up. My daughter has
charged me with being in love, and
l have not denied it," He promised
to call on me the following Friday,
but did not come. He had missed
some of his engagements with me.
l saw him on Saturday and he told
me we had better be very discreet.
He thought his carriage should not
be seen outside of Dudoit's. 1t
would be best for him not to come
and see me for a few days. The
next day he was very i'll, and saw
by the papers it was so. saw him
driving few days after; he looked
very i'll. / went to see him on Sun
day; he was asleep and his lunch
was untasted on the table. He
looked very i'll. eyes, dear love-"
said he, II have been very ILL.,"
The boy brought me some lunch,
though l did not want any. Just
then carriage came in the yard and
the King got out out and | left. lie
said the King had come to talk
about his engagement, but he did
not feel in the humor. On Monday
saw him again. l said l had
sent letter to him by Mr.. Lyons,
the auctioneer, after second arti-
Gle had appeared in the Gazette"
1t was not of any Importance; just
a line to say wanted to see him,
During the Mondays conversation.
with regard to the newspaper article,
he said: "Dear one, they have done
their worst. Trousseau has told me
/ must keep quiet" He had pain
in his ear and was afraid he was
going TO be troubled with paralysis.
With regard to the inconsistency of
his age, he said he must marry me.
As l was going out the door he COM
plimentcd me and told me / was
going to be his wife. He satisfied
me. He said he intended to get his
family to Waikiki, and then could
talk with them unmolested. He
would see me before he went, but
did not come. 1t was Friday after
noon. 1t flashed through my mind
that he was not treating me well, as
he had not been near me for week.
On Saturday morning / went to his
office little tiny bit indignant. He
refused to see me and locked his
Office door. | raped but there was
no answer. | was in the library as
he passed to his office. He did not
even smile at me, though he saw me.
l called to see him again on Monday
and followed him into his office.
asked him why he had not been to
see me. "Dear child, l could not
see you, l have been so busy.
l could not tell my daughter;
she is very low, and as she is
fleshy woman she might get low
fever" l told him l did not like
his actions. l said if he wanted to
break the engagement he could do
so. | did not like his denying it.
He brought his fist down on the
table and said he did not wish it
broken. / told him that l had
heard he had denied the engagement
on board a man-of-war. l was not
satisfied that time. After that time
! sent him letter by Mr.. Lyons,
dated April 10Th. gave him two
days to answer it, but he did not. l
then went to see him at his office.
He seemed very affectionate, and
asked what was the meaning of all
this, as l had promised to be guided
by him. / told him | heard reports
about him, and that the engagement
must be made known. | said l had
heard he had denied it. He said he
had not. / told him l wanted him
to renew his visits apd make the
engagement known. He said he
would come to see me on Monday
morning. We had better not have
anything underhand. He came on
Monday morning as he promised.
Ny sister saw him come, also Mr..
Lyons, Mrs. Dudoit and Miss Put

talked with him half-an-hour. He
said he was feeling badly and wanted
to go to Waikiki for rest. The
King wanted him to go to Hawaii,
but he did not want to be away
from telephone communication.
He said Mrs. Dudoit knew
about the engagement. He
kissed me goodbye on the stairs;
said he did not want to see me look
ing careworn. | have never seen
him since he kissed me goodbye.
He passed on. Alakea street one day,
and when he caught sight of me he
looked as if he would like to 90

come to time. / sent this letter by
